While of course the LSB says nothing about install-info, the fact that Debian distributes a program under the name 'install-info' which is incompatible with the GNU version can cause trouble for users. For example: % tar xzf texinfo-4.2.tar.gz % cd texinfo-4.1 % make % sudo make install will put GNU install-info into /usr/local/bin. As, by default in Debian, this is in front of /usr/bin in root's path, package upgrades will break. I think Debian would be a better distribution if its install-info were renamed. I appreciate that the transition might take years, but that's no reason not to do it. -M-
